The BROWN HAIR-STREAK-BUTTERFLY. The Caterpillar of this Butterfly is seldom found: which, I believe, is owing to the oddness of its Shape and Colour, which are exactly represented in the Plate. I took four of them by beating the Black-Thorn, and fed them on the same till the Middle of June, at which Time they changed into the Chrysalis, and the Fly was bred in the Middle of August. This Butterfly delights to settle on the Maple-Tree, &c. by beating the Branches whereof the Fly will rise, and may be taken in your Net.
